Today, the day after achieving its first AP Top 25 National Ranking, the University of Louisiana had a series of major announcements in a noon press conference from the confines of the newly built Chevron Stadium at the Louisiana Sports Complex.

First, the university announced, in cooperation with multiple energy sector corporations, the formation of the new Energy Bowl game to be held at Chevron Stadium beginning next December. Energy Bowl officials on hand stated the game would have a standing invite to the University of Louisiana once eligibility is secured. The opponent would be at-large selection. Officials plan to target those P5 programs looking for better options.

This led to the even more surprising announcement from Louisiana athletic director, Brian Maggard, that the university has notified the Sun Belt Conference that it will be leaving the conference in all sports at the end of the athletic year.....
